My Belief

Angel followed behind. One after the other, they walked through countless camellias and entered an ancient, small wooden cabin.

Yu Beixing led the way inside. Angel didn't know what she wanted to do, so he had to keep up. The moment they stepped into the cabin, the interior transformed into a different appearance, becoming an infinitely gloomy space filled with the stench of decay and blood.

Here, countless people were locked in chains. Some had steel bars piercing through their chests, some were nailed tightly to the walls with iron nails, and others were suspended in mid-air by chains, with steel needles piercing through their bodies.

They let out miserable groans, their expressions distorted and hideous, in extreme agony.

Looking at the scene before him, a trace of horror rose in Angel's heart: "Who are they? Why treat them like this?"

Yu Beixing said coldly: "They are demonic souls brought back by Xue. Doing this is to purify them."

"Purify?" Angel looked at the demonic souls whose faces were distorted in pain, utterly bewildered. Tormenting them represented purification? He asked Yu Beixing.

Yu Beixing thought for a moment: "Actually, it can't really be called purification. Evil can never be purified, only destroyed. However, these demonic souls are very difficult to destroy. Only by constantly torturing them, making them die and come back to life repeatedly, can they completely disappear."

Angel: "Is it necessary to destroy them?"

Yu Beixing nodded: "That's right, it is necessary to destroy them. It is they who caused evil to exist in everyone's souls, and it is this evil that has made the human world so cruel."

Angel lowered his eyes. If one day he truly became a demon, Yu Beixing would probably treat him like this too.

Yu Beixing didn't notice the change in Angel's emotions. Her gaze rested on the souls undergoing torture, and a cruel smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"In the future, you will be the one to destroy these demonic souls," she suddenly turned around and said to Angel.

Before Angel could answer, he instinctively turned his head and saw Xue at the doorway. Xue was staring at those demonic souls, his expression cold and detached, without any emotional color, as if looking at a bunch of worthless objects.

This version of Xue was extremely unfamiliar. Though his cold gaze rested on the demonic souls, it felt as if it was resting on Angel himself. If he fell into a demon one day, how would Xue treat him? He would probably look at him with such a cold gaze, and even kill him.

Just thinking about this brought fear and panic to his heart, but he suppressed these negative emotions and looked at Yu Beixing expressionlessly: "Alright."

He knew he had to stand on the opposite side of the demonic souls. He could not become a demon, he absolutely could not.

Xue walked forward, his voice gentle like a spring breeze: "Very good."

Angel was slightly dazed. Xue gazed at him gently: "In the future, you will purify these demonic souls. This is your mission."

Under Xue's gentle gaze, Angel found his courage and asked: "Must angels and demons be enemies? Must it be a fight to the death?"

Xue replied decisively: "Yes. Angels and demons can never coexist; they are eternal enemies. Furthermore, only when demons completely disappear can the world become beautiful. Such a world is my belief."

Angel couldn't help but repeat: "Your belief?"

A look of yearning appeared in Xue's eyes: "That's right, my belief. I long for such a world, a world without demons, without demonic souls. That is the new world of humanity."
